Dorpie Posted June 23, 2014 Posted June 23, 2014 Ive recently purchased a bike from a fellow hubber and it came with Velocity Blunt SL rims and so far all the research Ive done hasnt really told me how good they are and what they can handle. Ive taken them out for a couple test rides from the Spruit to Kings Kloof so they have handled pretty well so far but... Any one else got 5c to add?
Jva Posted June 23, 2014 Posted June 23, 2014 Hi Dorpie, had a set of 29er wheels built with these rims, have been riding them for 2 years now over all different terrain. Very happy with them, I think they are very good value for what you pay for them.
the nerd Posted June 23, 2014 Posted June 23, 2014 Been riding them for ages, fair enough mine are the old ones before they were blunts. My brother has 2 sets and they have been faultless. Cant fault them in any way, just finished Dusi on them. P.S. mine have lived on a fully rigid hardtail 29er for about 5 years no issue, Jva 1
Dorpie Posted June 23, 2014 Author Posted June 23, 2014 Good to hear, thanks guys!! I must say they are sweet rims!
the nerd Posted June 23, 2014 Posted June 23, 2014 you wont have any ***, just keep the pressure up, they dont like very low. above 1.5bar only.
shaper Posted June 23, 2014 Posted June 23, 2014 (edited) Have a set of 650B that have had for nearly 2 years, still solid and as true as the day I built them up, currently running on a rigid SS. Edited June 23, 2014 by shaper
Dorpie Posted June 24, 2014 Author Posted June 24, 2014 Jees never knew about them till i got the bike but it seems like they are a decent set of rims, Im running them with Maxxis Ardent 29x2.25 @1.9 bar. Thanks guys, im happy
